, I vTO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, T. L. GOBLE, of Orange, in the county of Schuyler, :1nd State of New York, have in'vented a new and u'set'ul Improvement in Carriage-Jacks; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and enact description thereof', which will enable' those skilled in the art to make and rinse the same, reference being had tothe laccompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention consists in an arrangement for raising the wheels of a carriage or other vehicle from thc ground by operating a. nearly horizontal rail by a lever, which is hung or pivoted eccentrically to a standard, us will -be hereinafter described. The drawing represents a side elevation of my carriagejaek. A represents the bed-piece, B the stzrndard, to which the lever is attached. C is another standard, by which one cnd of the rail is supported.; D is the lever; E is the'roil; F is a short adjustable stand, which is pivoted to the standard C and to the end of the rail E; g represents notches in Vthe rail E.

In operating with the jack it is run under the axle of the carriage, when the rail stands, as seen in tht` drawing, horizontal, or nearly so, and with the lever D elevated as seen in the drawing. The end of this lever, which is pivoted to the standard B, is in the form of a circle. The fnlcrum et' the lever is atfon one side of the centre of the circle, or placed eccentrically'. The other end of the rail is pirated. to the short stand F :it J. New, with the jack rail E under the axle as before mentioned, if the lever is depressedl and the carriage raised, the lever and ,the rail will assume the position indicated by the red lines in the drawing, and the small `stand F will stand upright, as seen, and in this position the jack will stand firmly with its hurden as the pivot h will sta-nd directly over the fulcrum, and there will be no tendency in the leverto ily up. The distance from the fulcrum of the leverf tothe pivot L is so shortthat the leverage is very great, and heavy weights muy he raised with the greatest ease. VThe arrangement is so plainly set forth in the dra-wing that further description is deemed unnecessary. Y A What I claln as new, and desire to-secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The notched rail E, pivot-ed at one end to the eccentric-lever D, and ut the other end to the pivoted adjustable stand F, substantially' as described for the purpose specified.

2. The adjustablestand F, pivoted to the notched rail E, which is operated by the eccentric-lever D, substantinlly as described for the purpose specified. l T. L. GOBLE.
